[QUOTE=Portgas D. Ace;1519771]Go out side, enjoy the fresh air??.... Ride a motorbike, go to the beach..[/QUOTE]
10 below zero, snowing, everything is closed, nowhere to go... Gee, sometimes a good session of flinging birds is just what was on order! :-) Read More

I'm from Australia, if there was snow outside, tell you what, that would be fun.. Go outside, get active.

Around here, in the winter, I go outside and shovel snow for exercise... :-) Wouldn't mind some nice warm weather and a nearby beach... Spring has sprung. It has finally gotten above freezing a few days this past week, so I walk around the block a couple of times before I turn blue from the chill. Mostly, for exercise in the winter here, when I'm not shoveling snow, is to go to a barn dance with my wife. Sometimes we play. Sometimes we dance. Sometimes she calls the dance and I handle the door.

I couldn't live in a snowy environment for too long, I love going to the beach 200 days of the year :) Motor bike riding, fishing.. In the snow i guess most of those things are a rarity.

Not to mention that I am 1000 miles from the nearest ocean! We have a big lake (Lake Michigan) nearby, but not too many people swim in it during the cold months. There are a few, called "polar bears", who brave the frozen waters for a few seconds to prove how "tough" they are! We went to a lodge up in Minnesota a couple of years ago in the winter for a weekend dance and music jamming event, and some cross-country skiing. They had a nice sauna, and a hole cut in the ice (a foot thick) in the lake outside, with a ladder to climb out. You get all hot and sweaty in the sauna, run outside to jump into the icy water, and then quite literally "explode" back to the surface and zip inside! The Scandinavian descendants who live in the area seem to think it's quite the thing to do! :-)

It's good for your muscles, Australian Rule's Football players do something similar, they have a hot shower, then jump into an ice bath, and repeat the method over, it expands your blood cells, then contracts them over and over, healing your muscles...
